Jimmy Carr - Joke Technician
Fri 3 Oct Symphony Hall
Jimmy Carr is not just a TV star. He’s won awards, released chart topping DVDs (there’s a new one out this November), written a best selling book and broken box office records by performing to over 500,000 people in the last three years. He may be the hardest working man in comedy. But perhaps he wouldn’t have to be if he had a little bit more talent. This show is exactly the same as last year’s except every single word. It’s rude, crude and offensive but those aren’t the only reasons you’ll enjoy it. Not to be missed, unless it’s not your kind of thing.

Andy Kirkpatrick: When Hell Freezes Over
Thu 16 Oct Town Hall
British mountaineer Andy Kirkpatrick has a reputation for climbing in extreme conditions. He also has a reputation as the most extreme speaker on the mountaineering circuit, with stand-up talents to rival the top comedy acts in the UK. ‘When Hell Freezes Over’ focuses on his winter expeditions to Patagonia, a treacherous mountain range at the southern most portion of South America. Andy’s show gives a taste of what it’s like to go on a major expedition, with tales of being trapped on mile high summits in hurricane winds, buried by avalanches, and pushed close to hypothermia whilst lashed to the side of a mountain. A 100 mile-an-hour ride through Andy’s whiteknuckle experiences of the last decade. “makes Ray Mears look like Paris Hilton” The Metro
